An unflinching look at the most urgent humanitarian crises around
the globe, from one of the world's most daring
philosopher-reporters "Call[s] on people not just to see the world,
but to be moved and interested by what they find there, and to do
something about it."-Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic "Fierce and
elegant, Levy's musings will be of profound interest to any reader
of modern continental philosophy."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Over the past fifty years, renowned public intellectual
Bernard-Henri Levy has reported extensively on human rights abuses
around the world. This new book follows the intrepid Levy into
eight international hotspots-Nigeria; Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan;
Ukraine; Somalia; Bangladesh; Lesbos, Greece; Libya; and
Afghanistan-that have escaped global attention or active response.
In a deeply personal introduction, Levy recounts the intellectual
journey that led him to advocacy, arguing that a truly humanist
philosophy must necessarily lead to action in defense of the most
vulnerable. In the second section, he reports on the eight
investigative trips he undertook just before or during the
coronavirus pandemic, from the massacred Christian villages in
Nigeria to a dangerously fragile Afghanistan on the eve of the
Taliban talks, from an anti-Semitic ambush in Libya to the overrun
refugee camp on the island of Lesbos. Part manifesto, part missives
from the field, this new book is a stirring rebuke to indifference
and an exhortation to level our gaze at those most hidden from us.
